HANDLE FOB KITCHEN UTENSILS.

Application filed June 6, 1925, Serial No. 35,399. Renewed May 31, 1928.

This invention has for its object the at 7 tion of openings in the lid in attaching the ure 1. r

handle. 7

This invention alsoconsists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, refer-- ence will be had to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which v Figure l is a plan view showing a lid provided with my invention.

Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2' of Fig- Figure 3 is a view of the clip for holding the handle to the lid.

Figure 4 is a View of the handle.

Figure 5 is a bottom plan View of Figure 6. Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 2, but

showing a modification.

Figure 7 is a view of the clip shown in Figure 6. r

In these views, lindicates a lid or cover and 2 indicates the handle for the same. This handle is formedof wire bent into semi-circular shape, with its ends 3 arranged parallel to each other and forming. the flat side of the semi-circle. A clip l, formed from a single blank of metal, holds the handle on the lid. This clip is formed with a double loop up theslots soas to leave noopenings the lid.

Instead of makingthe clip with a double loop, I may make it with asingle loop, as shown at 5 in Figures 6 and 7, so that the portions 3 of the handle contact with each other while engaging the looped part of the clip. In this case also, a pair of slots 6 is formed in the lid to receive the end of the clip so that in this case the handle contacts with the lid, as shown inFigure 6.

Attention is called to the fact that the parts 8 of the handle are of less length than the widest part of the curved part of the handle so that the handle can be pushed down against the lid and then when it is released, it

It is thought from the foregoingdescription that the advantages and novel features] of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire 1t to be understood that I may make parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is "r0 changes in the construction and in the c0m-- I blnatlon and arrangement of the several.

1. In combination with a lid having a slot therein, a handle formed of a piece of wire bent into semi-circular shape with its ends overlapping and parallel, a clip bent into loop shape with its ends passing through the slot and bent over against the bottom of the lid, the parallel ends of the handle engaging the looped portion of the clip and holding the handle upright.

2. In combination with a lid having a loop" thereon, a handle formed of a bent portion of spring wire with its ends overlapping and extending parallel to each other in a horizontal plane, said ends engaging the looped part and tending to hold the handle in upright position.
